hmm... I guess I got really lucky getting that one order in, with the Help-Test coupon code. Sorry Coco, and thanks for the tip. I hope it gets sorted before anyone runs low. The free shipping to Michigan residents is either gone the way of the Dodo, or also still needs implementing if they are going to keep the option.

I'm ambivalent about the idea of it not being available anymore. I actually enjoy going up there monthly lately. Get to talk to Drew and get educated on what's new and hawt. With motorcycle weather so close, I pass nearby pretty often anyway. Lovely roads up near Swartz Creek..

There are 3 ways to earn points -- post product reviews on FB, refer people to Ahlusion and buy stuff.

For every $10 you spend, you get 5 points. Once you have at least 10 points, you can use them for discounts. Before you add a juice to your cart, enter how many points you want to use (10+) toward paying for that item.

Don't stockpile your points. They expire in 4 months.

Here's the explanation at Ahlusion.com Reward yourself

I don't know if they're still going to send review discount codes, but if they do and you stack points with a coupon with a gold discount during a sale, I think they will pay you for each bottle you buy.

ETA: Regarding the prices for the current sale, do the math. Divide the cost by the size to get the price per ml. (The way I remember it is "divide bucks by schmucks.")
66.7¢ = 30 ml at the regular price ($20)
51.7¢ = 60 ml at the regular price ($31)

40.0¢ = 30 ml at the sale price ($12)
38.3¢ = 60 ml at the sale price ($23)

So you save more (but not a LOT more) if you buy the bigger bottles.

Umm...I guess I wasn't clear about what I didn't understand. I get most if not all of the above. I can do the math.

What I don't understand is what a reward point is worth when you turn it in on your next order. $0.01? $0.10? $0.001?

Put another way, exactly what do you get when you turn in a reward point? I assume you get some kind of discount, but how much of a discount? I didn't see a clear statement regarding that on Ahlusion's site. Could be there somewhere, but I didn't see it.

So I had an order in my cart that totaled $59. You get 10 points per $10 spent (I guess they're awarding double points during this sale), so the order form said I would be getting 50 reward points. Now then, if I bought another 30 ml bottle for $12, my order would be $71 and I would get 70 reward points instead of 50. I ended up ordering another bottle, but to me it's not even worth thinking about if a reward point is only worth $0.01 when turned in. On the other hand, if a reward point is worth $0.10, then in effect the marginal cost of the last bottle was only $10, which IMO is a decent benefit.

But until I know what a reward point is worth when you turn it in...:|

And btw - not complaining, mind you - the upated Facebook page said that they were giving a 30% discount across the board and that the discount was already calculated into the prices so no discount code was necessary. That's not quite true, as you don't get the 30% off on the second 30 ml of a 60 ml bottle.

Again, not complaining here.

I am not going to try to decipher what is going on right now. I know AHL is always fair priced for what you get. I think the rewards points is probably going to be in lieu of the feedback coupon maybe. Any way you slice it $12 for a bottle of AHL 'manna from heaven' is a better buy than $16 of junk juice from a mass distributor

It appeared to me, that you get about a point per dollar that you spend, and each point takes a dime off the price. So it's basically a 10% discount on each order. How I read it, anyway. Could maybe lead to things like "double points" promotions and such?

Maybe you'll come up on a nice day and we go for a Cruise!

I'll make SURE of it! I'll call ahead, see what time you're free. I got the route down pat from Ahlusion, to Hell and back! Or better yet, you can show me some of YOUR favorite routes! Would be a BLAST!

See my shout out on the Facebook page? Apparently there will be no more feedback coupons.

Yeah, I saw that too on their facebook page. Well, all good things must come to an end. The points actually are a pretty fair replacement. They are based on the original prices, before discounts so I think they'll work out to being at LEAST 15% off, all things considered.

I'm pretty confident that when the Elite line is introduced, and our gold/military discounts are working properly, we are going to find that our costs are going to be lower than ever.

The beautiful Puget Sound
what kind of prices are y'all seeing initially? I am still not sure I am even getting gold member status. The menu prices are the same for me whether I am logged in or not and that is $12.00 each 30ml for the custom line

Same for me and I'm wondering the same thing. I see $12 too, whether logged in or not. At one point I saw what I thought was my gold discount because when I first logged in the price was lower, but then as soon as I added it to my cart, the price went back to what it was when I wasn't logged in and then even if I logged out and then logged in again after clearing my cookies, the discount was no longer there. I've given up on trying to order right now...plus it won't give me the option for a sample no matter how much I put in my cart...I know they're still working on it and I have way too much juice anyway, so I'm in no hurry and can wait until they get the bugs worked out.
Contact Ahlusion and let them know. Apparently the Gold status didn't move over to the new site for everyone. I contacted them and Alley got it straightened out for me right away.
